 First American edition, taken from the London printing of the same year. Illustrations in this work are a woodcut frontispiece, a woodcut on the title-page, and ahalf-page woodcut illustration for each of the 18 cries in the text, for a total of 20 cuts. Dr. R wrote of this work: “This edition of the London Cries resembles [the Cries] of Philadelphia and of New York in that each Cry is accompanied by a verse, and a long explanatory passage in prose . . . [A]nd although the book is intended for children, the propaganda introduced into . . . [it] is at times obviously intended for their parents.”
